Ask the team how to build a similar meal. ## What’s on *this plate?* A way to explore several meat preparations on one table. The soft minced serving, larger pieces and sauced dish each offer a different bite, with injera to gather them up. ![An injera sharing plate with minced meat, cubed meat, a sauced meat dish, red sauce and spice powder](https://testofethiopiarestaurant.com.au/assets/food/food-02-meat-sharing-overhead.webp) ### A closer look at each part **Sauced meat and onion** Cream dish in the centre Larger meat pieces and onion sit in a glossy orange-brown sauce. This is a useful first taste for someone who enjoys stews: take a small piece with a little sauce, then gather it with injera. **Cubed meat** Black bowl at the top The larger red meat pieces are separate from the minced serving below. Onion and green pepper or chilli pieces sit between them. Ask which preparation this is and whether it will be served raw, lightly cooked or fully cooked. **Finely minced meat** Black dish at the bottom The red, finely chopped serving has a much smaller grain than the cubes. It resembles a kitfo-style preparation; kitfo is seasoned minced beef. Confirm the dish and your preferred cooking level with the team. **Red sauce** Small white bowl on the left This smooth red condiment is served separately, so you can add it gradually. Taste a little on plain injera first and ask about its ingredients and chilli level before adding more. **Dry spice accompaniment** Small white bowl on the right The orange powder is a separate seasoning, rather than another stew. Ask the team to identify the blend and show you how much to add; a small pinch lets you explore it without covering every flavour. **Rolled and folded injera** Three portions around the rim Injera is soft, tangy flatbread. Unfold or tear off a bite-sized piece and use it to gather the food. You do not have to finish one serving before moving to another. **The injera underneath** The dotted brown base of the plate The large sheet beneath the bowls is edible bread too. It catches sauces as you share the meal, so you can enjoy the parts that have taken on your favourite flavours. **Excellent****4.5****90 reviews on Google** [Write a review](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gZUF2ft8vjPss8Kp9) Amy Bachrach 5 months ago [Read guest reviews on Google Maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gZUF2ft8vjPss8Kp9) Enjoyed a delicious lunch and a vegetarian platter with greens, lentils, vegetables and a bright salad.

Injera brings a springy texture and gentle tang. The separate sauce and powder let you explore additional seasoning a little at a time. THE FIRST BITE ### Start here Ask the team to confirm each meat preparation, then begin with the fully cooked sauced dish. Try one bite with injera alone, one with onion, and only then a little of the separate red condiment. THE HOW ### Make it your own Tear a small piece of injera and use it to scoop one serving at a time. You can mix flavours once you find your favourites. **A note on preparation**Some Ethiopian meat preparations are served raw or lightly cooked. Tell the team if you want fully cooked meat, and confirm the preparation of each serving. KEEP EXPLORING ## Another good place to start.
